Dear Parent/Carer,
The children have really enjoyed learning about Traditional tales this half term. Whilst learning about these stories the children have developed their speaking and listening skills and their understanding of story structure . They have also worked collaboratively both in their free play and in their group retelling.
This week we will be learning about the Celebration pf Chinese New Year, We will be tasting food, making dragons. hearing the story of how the animals got their Chinese new year places amongst other activities.
